But is it okay to wank after Labor Day?
We've all heard the fashion "rule" that you're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day, right?

Apparently it's serious business on Metaquotes. And serious business means wank, of course. Wank over weather patterns. Dissing of Crocs. Michael Kors' name is taken in vain. People disagree all over the place with what is perceived to be the bossy tone of the quote to begin with, defend bottle-blondes, and worry about their official gay status.

But the best part is when someone tells one of the mods to "Get over yourself" and to "stop playing mod" and ends it with a smiley emoticon.

([info]conuly says what I'm thinking about this whole thing, which is "Why would anybody care?" Except it's the Paradox of Virulent Apathy all over again, where you don't care so much that you must make a statement to that effect.)

ETA: But wait, there's more! And I don't get why this is fat and thus must be ripped on, but whatever. It just keeps getting shallower by the hour.

As soon as I knit a pair, baby.

Stacey and Clinton say white is allowed after Labor Day (but miniskirts aren't allowed after 35). Therefore, I will continue to wear white whenever I darn well please. Except to weddings (that aren't my own), because that's just tacky, yo.

And that, my dears, is all I have to say on the matter.

I wear legwarmers. On my arms. Obviously I'm too lazy to dig out my jacket a fashion misfit. And I'd wear them on my legs if they didn't make them look like stumps. And I had something to wear them with.

But Crocs? Bad times. They are the most insanely f'ugly shoe ever made. Ever.

I *love* my Crocs (mine are called "Traps"-- guess they're a knockoff brand). They're comfortable, and you can wear 'em in the garden and hose them off when you're done. I keep meaning to get a pair of the orthopedic ones, since finding something that will take my inserts and costs less than $50 is damn near impossible but those are only $39. And they come in funky colors!

I don't own anything white. I think I will buy some white clothes and wear nothing but white tomorrow in honor of this wank.

Also: Does the "No white after Labor Day" rule apply to underwear?

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. I live in New Hampshire. I would gut a polar bear for a few extra degrees of warmth by December.

Not that anybody's safe in that post, but [info]velocityboy strikes me as a rather wanky mod. "omg, don't state your opinions, kthx, and oh, btw, if you didn't notice I'm a mod, look at my ugly mod icon. See? Totally mod. Now let me get my mod on while my simpering syncophants gather around me every time I reply to every negative comment."

No white below the waist past Labor Day. Period. End of story. Either switch to winter white (you know,that nice creamy shade that is in no way reminiscent of boating in the Hamptons) or suck it up and wear other colors to cover your southern regions.

Mmmmm .... no. And you can kiss my white-clad ass if you don't like it.

I don't know why, but attitudes like this really shit me. 'OMG I command you to stop wearing you clothes you like because it's unfashionable and I hate it!' - well why should I give a flying rat's ass about what you think?

If watching Project Runway has taught me one thing, it is that I will never, ever really be fashionable.

This last hurrah of summertime is usually commemorated with a three-day weekend, making it easy to remember.

Except for me, because I totally forgot it was Labor Day. Probably because my school doesn't have off.

And in honor of this wank, I will be wearing white shorts tomorrow. Mainly because my tan pair are dirty and it's still like 80 degrees out. Labor Day is fall, my ass.

And I look hot in white. Seriously. You don't even know.

I love fashion because I have absolutely no fashion sense whatsoever. And I LIKE it that way.
